Chicken is a food that contains a very high nutritional content, and chicken can be prepared into many delicious dishes suitable for the meals of every family. Choosing good chicken for cooking is not difficult. TasteVN would like to share with you some ways to choose good chicken for your family:
– Native chicken will be the best, so it is advisable to buy native chicken and avoid industrial chicken as it tends to be bland and not tasty.
– If possible, it is better to buy live chicken to process. Fresh live chicken is tastier and more reliable than pre-processed chicken. You can buy live chicken and ask the seller to slaughter it on the spot.
- For live chickens:
– You should choose chickens with bright red combs, alert eyes, and the chicken must be healthy, not lethargic. The feathers should be shiny and close to the body, and the beak should be sharp without any mucus.
– Carefully check the armpit area of the chicken; if you see a small red dot and the surrounding area is raised and discolored, you should not buy it. The chicken may have been injected with drugs.
– Observe the chicken’s anus when selecting; a good chicken has a pink anus, good contraction, is not wet, and does not have unusual droppings.
- For slaughtered chickens:
– Native slaughtered chickens typically have a sharp body shape, narrow breast, with dark yellow skin, and firm meat. For super-egg chickens, the entire body will be white or yellow.
– Good native chickens have light yellow skin, with only some areas like breast, wings, and back being darker. Do not buy chickens with an entirely yellow color, as they may have been dipped in harmful chemicals.
– Choose chickens with thin, smooth skin that has high elasticity. The meat should be fresh, not smelly, and should not have an antibiotic odor. The skin should not have bruises or blood clots.
– Avoid buying dark-skinned chickens, as they may have died before being slaughtered.
– Use your hand to press on the chicken’s thigh to check; if it feels soft, slippery, or deformed, do not buy it. The chicken may have been injected with chemicals, and consuming it can affect your health.
